As Li Qinglin expected, at four o'clock in the morning on the 21st, the sky to the east had just shining light, and the raid troops of the 25th Division quietly launched a attack.

The Japanese were not iron-clad. They fought for a whole day yesterday, so they were still sleeping in their dreams. The sky was getting brighter, but their vision was not good. The vanguard troops of the 25th Division successfully touched about 100 meters away from the enemy. At this time, a Japanese sentry discovered an abnormality on the battlefield. He took a gun and fired, "Eight Hooks"!

For both the enemy and us, gunfire is an order. The Japanese soldiers reacted very quickly, and they quickly returned to their respective battle positions to shoot; the enemy had discovered their whereabouts, and the attacking side no longer needed to hide, and the charge of the 25th Division began immediately.

The quality of the Japanese soldiers is high. Although they suddenly encountered sneak attacks, they reacted in time and were not messy. "Da Da Da", "Ki Ku", "Eight Hook, Eight Hook, Eight Hook"... The Japanese machine gun rifles were continuously fired, and rows of officers and soldiers of the 25th Division continued to fall.

No one retreated or even dodged bullets. They were all rushing forward one after another. From the attack point to the enemy's trenches, the fallen army officers and soldiers were everywhere on the road of just over 100 meters, and the ground could be said to be blood flowing.

The troops of the National Army who had not fallen rushed to the small highland. The Japanese soldiers rushed out with bayonets and shouted wildly. The enemy and us began to fight for bayonets.

The fifth company was originally placed behind the team, but now after the comrades in front of him fell in rows, the fifth company has become the front unit.

The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Company are not unfamiliar with such hand-to-hand combat, and are not afraid of it. Relying on their number of advantages, a few of them surrounded a Japanese and began to encircle and suppress them.

Li Qinglin also looked for the Japanese with a bayonet. Often, before the Japanese rushed over, the box cannon in Xiao Liuzi's hand behind Li Qinglin rang. Li Qinglin wanted to do it just to use the bayonet to massacre the wounded Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground. Half an hour later, all the Japanese soldiers on the small high ground were cleared and the positions were taken down.

Under the orders of the superiors, the soldiers began to treat their comrades and repair and strengthen the fortifications. Of course, Xiao Liuzi and the others would not miss the opportunity to collect spoils. After a while, he brought a large bag of things. He walked and muttered: "I've got rich, I've got rich."

This time, three more casualties were killed and killed in the fifth company, and there are only forty-five people left in the entire company.

This attack also captured several Japanese grenade launchers and many grenade throwers, but it was not easy to find shooters who could fire grenade launchers in the 25th Division. Because in the early training, many soldiers of the fifth company learned to use grenade launchers, so these grenade launchers and ammunition were sent to the hands of the fifth company.

At around six o'clock, it was already bright. From a distance, the Japanese on the beach of Zhanghe River began to gather, and they seemed to be about to launch an attack.

After a while, a burst of shells landed on the position, and the Japanese began to prepare for artillery bombing. The Japanese gathered on the river beach were also urgently mobilized, and a new round of attack began.

But the Japanese artillery preparations had just begun, and for some reason they suddenly stopped. Soon, there were continuous huge explosions on the north bank of the Zhang River. The violent explosions raised the smoke rising into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

What exactly happened? The Kuomintang army felt very strange. Even the Japanese army on the Zhang River beach stopped their activities, and they seemed to be confused.

At this moment, the regiment headquarters issued an order. A regiment left on the north bank of the Zhang River launched an attack on the Japanese artillery positions. Their artillery and ammunition had been blown up. Now all officers and soldiers were ordered to immediately launch a full-line attack on the Japanese left on the south bank.

This was the most exciting news since the Zhanghe River blockade! All the officers and soldiers immediately shouted and rushed out of the position, and they rushed towards the Japanese.

The modernization level of the Japanese army was not high during the War of Resistance Against Japan, but compared with the national army with worse equipment, the Japanese firepower was still very strong. On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese planes, tanks and cannons gave great damage to the Chinese army. Now the Japanese have no support from artillery and the planes have not taken off. The morale of the officers and soldiers of the 52nd Army was greatly boosted. They held guns and everyone rushed towards the Japanese.

The Japanese actually knew the situation on the north bank. The Japanese without artillery support became paper tigers, and they resisted layer by layer to cover each other. Now the Japanese soldiers began to shrink their defense lines, and even the thin-skinned tanks that seemed invincible in the past retreated step by step.

The grenade launchers in Li Qinglin and the others exerted their power. Although the shooters of the fifth company basically had the skills of two swords, they were not stingy with grenades. They only caught one and fired them into the Japanese crowd.

The National Army had been under the pressure of enemy artillery fire before, but now it can match the enemy's firepower, which is enough to make the soldiers proud. The officers and soldiers shouted, shot, rushed forward bravely. The 52nd Army headquarters also seized this great opportunity. They sent more companies to the front line, and it seemed that the reserve teams were all sent in the division.

The Japanese soldiers who fought with their backs were tenacious enough. They immediately resisted on the spot after being attacked. The enemy and us fought fiercely on this small river beach. Under the death order of the 25th Division, rows of military officers and soldiers launched an uninterrupted charge towards the Japanese positions.

The Japanese soldiers without artillery support should not be underestimated. With the superior forces of the national army, these Japanese platoons fought on their own, the squads fought on their own, and even the people fought on their own. With the support of the spirit of Bushido, the Japanese soldiers would rather die than surrender than retreat. A small firepower point of the Japanese often requires more than a dozen or twenty national soldiers to exchange their lives, and this small firepower point often only has two or three Japanese soldiers to hold on.

The Japanese were very tough, but no matter how tough the Japanese were, they could not resist the large number of officers and soldiers of the 52th Army, and all these Chinese soldiers were fearless. The battle for positions on the river beach was fought from morning to evening, and the two sides were engaged in hand-to-hand combat at the most intense time of the battle.

The 25th Division fought fiercely with the Japanese throughout the day, some of which fought sporadically until late at night. Except for the Japanese on the South Bank, all the others were killed, were knocked back to the North Bank. The Japanese on the positions left behind corpses, and a tank was burning in flames - it was blown up by the warriors of the 52nd Army with cluster grenades.

This time, the fifth company mainly used grenade launchers to support the front line, so they did not participate in the forefront charge. Except for two more people who were slightly injured, the others were safe and sound.

It was very dark at night, and fires were set on the river beach. The Japanese who fell all over the ground on the river beach were naturally a good opportunity for Xiao Liuzi and others to show their skills.

The fifth company was lined up behind this attack. It was too late when Xiao Liuzi went up. Xiao Liuzi, who came back in the dark, seemed to have no gains. He walked along the way and cursed: "These bastards are too fast and too dark. He doesn't even let go of the Japanese's torn socks."
